Steps:
- 1. Wash asparagus and snap off the bottom of the stalks.
- 2. Place damp asparagus onto a piece of heavy-duty foil - shiny side up - large enough to leave 2-3 inches of clear foil on either side and 4-5 inches top and bottom of the asparagus.
- 3. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus and toss to coat.
- 4. Sprinkle with Parmesan, lemon zest (or juice), pepper, and salt. Toss to coat.
- 5. Bring the top and bottom edges of the foil together and fold over several times, leaving some air space between vegetables and foil.
- 6. Repeat with each side of your foil package until a sealed pouch is formed.
- 7. Cook pouch indirectly on the BBQ - meaning on an upper rack, over a non-burning element, or to the side of your burning charcoal - for about 14 mins. Flip the pouch over after 7 mins. Total cooking time will vary with heat level of BBQ/fire mins
- 8. When vegetables are cooked, the pouch will swell up with steam. Note - this will only work if your pouch is well sealed and you haven't accidentally poked a hole in it during handling.
- 9. Open foil pouch and serve. Watch out for the steam when you first tear the foil - especially if the pouch is puffed up. Enjoy!
